Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prayers of St. Paul: Being an Analysis and Exposition, Devotional Portion of the of Writings When St. Paul found it necessary to impress a seal of authentication upon his letters, the sign which he chose was an autograph Benediction. "So I write," he said; and the reader witnessed his peculiar marks on the parchment. But "the token in every Epistle" was not simply the marks that defied the forger: those singular characters shaped a prayer in which was prominent the word Grace (XAPIS), the watchword of the Apostle´s theology. His peculiar handwriting was his sign-manual; but only as containing an invocation of grace. To his own generation, and to some generations that followed, this indispensable seal of genuineness served its purpose. We have not now the same evidence, nor the same need of it. To us there are very many other most obvious tokens of the Apostle´s hand. Not to speak of the breath of inspiration that pervades the Epistles that bear his name, they are full of those specific touches of individuality concerning each of which he might also have said, So I write.
